Cranleigh School

Where ambition meets opportunity

Welcome to Cranleigh Sixth Form – two years of discovery, challenge and growth at the heart of an inspiring and supportive community.

At Cranleigh, Sixth Form is more than just A Levels: it’s a time to find your voice, follow your passion and prepare for life beyond school. Here, you’ll be supported to think boldly, explore widely and step confidently into the future.

Academic excellence and pathways

Our Sixth Form curriculum is built on academic rigour and intellectual curiosity. You’ll study a broad range of A Level subjects with the option to take an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), enabling deep independent research and preparation for university-level study. Cranleigh students consistently achieve strong results, with an impressive proportion gaining top grades and going on to competitive universities both in the UK and overseas.

  • A Levels tailored to your strengths and aspirations

  • EPQ and enrichment options to extend learning

  • Personalised academic mentoring and university guidance

We help every student define their own pathway – whether that’s Russell Group university, art or design degrees, apprenticeships, or international opportunities.

Life in the Sixth Form Community

Cranleigh Sixth Form is a vibrant stage of school life where you’ll grow in confidence, leadership and independence.

You’ll be part of a dynamic community where:

  • Friendships and collaboration thrive

  • Ideas are debated and explored

  • Achievements in sport, music, art and drama are celebrated

  • Your wellbeing and personal growth are priorities
